I've seen lots of arguments online pro and con about practicing the routine weekly
sabbath as a holy day of obligation, but yet to see any discussions related to the
penalty for skipping it.
• Ex 31:14-15 . . You shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy for you. He who profanes
it shall be put to death: whoever does work on it, that person shall be cut off from
among his people. Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be
a sabbath of complete rest, holy to The Lord; whoever does work on the sabbath day
shall be put to death.
If Christians are required to obey God's commandment to practice the routine
weekly sabbath, then why wouldn't they be required to obey His commandment to
execute those among themselves who skip it?
I should think the commandment to execute is just as binding as the commandment
to practice, i.e. aren't the two commandments joined at the hip; so to speak?
